Technical Abstract

A wireless data storage medium comprising an image recording section for rewritably recording and displaying a visible image, and wireless data storage means less in flexibility produced by bonding the wireless data storage section with the image recording section in such a manner that only part of a whole structure of the wireless data storage section is superposed on part of a whole structure of the image recording section, for storing and reading data on a memory for storing data by performing communication with an external system by use of the memory and an antenna.

10 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A wireless data storage medium which stores data and supplies data externally, comprising: an image recording section for rewritably recording and displaying a visible image having a connecting section and a non-connecting section, the non-connecting section being larger in size than the connecting section; a wireless data storage section having a connecting portion and a non-connecting portion, the non-connecting portion being larger in size than the connecting portion, the connecting portion being bonded with the connecting section of the image recording section, and a LSI chip provided within the non-connecting portion of the wireless data storage section, the LSI chip adapted to store and read data obtained by performing communication with an external system.

2

2. A wireless data storage medium according to claim 1, further comprising an antenna portion connected to the LSI chip, and molded within the non-connecting portion of the wireless data storage section.

3

3. A wireless data storage medium according to claim 1, wherein the image recording section is larger in size that the wireless data storage section.

4

4. A wireless data storage medium according to claim 1, wherein the image recording section has a lower rigidity than the wireless data storage section and the image recording section has a higher flexibility than the wireless data storage section.

5

5. A wireless data storage medium according to claim 1, wherein the image recording section comprises plural display sections respectively developing different colors.

6

6. A wireless data storage medium according to claim 1, wherein the image recording section comprises: a first display section, in which is stacked on the first display section, and in which a red color image can repeatedly be recorded or erased.

7

7. A wireless data storage medium according to claim 1, wherein the wireless data storage section is formed of base material having rigidity in such a manner as to be molded into a single body, and comprises a through-port.

8

8. A wireless data storage medium according to claim 1, wherein the image recording section comprises a first rewritable recording portion in which a black image is rewritably recorded or erased and a second rewritable recording portion in which a colored image other than black is rewritably recorded or erased.

9

9. A wireless data storage medium according to claim 1, wherein the image recording section comprises a first rewritable recording portion in which a black image is rewritably recorded, and a second rewritable recording portion which is stacked on the first rewritable recording portion, and in which a colored image other than black is rewritable recorded.

10

10. A wireless data storage medium according to claim 1, wherein the wireless data storage section is shaped to a card structure parallel with a sheet structure of the image recording section.
